Lewistown Gazette: June 28, 1871: At his brother's residence, in Yeagertown, on the 10th June, 1871, LAFAYETTE GEARHART.
The young, the loved, the beautiful,
Thy early pass away,
Because they cannot bloom and shine
Where death's chill breezes play.
Oh! gentle Father, Master good,
Help us to love and lose,
To trust Thee when not understood,
To acquiesce - not choose.
A FRIEND.
